Citing input from event exhibitors, members and the board of directors who represent the industry, the International Dairy Deli Bakery Association (IDDBA) has announced the decision to cancel this year’s trade show.
“With the ongoing global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and our promise to deliver an experience expected of the IDDBA, continuing to plan for June 6-8 trade show in Houston was simply no longer feasible,” said Whitney Atkins, VP of marketing for IDDBA.
The safety of attendees, exhibitors and the IDDBA community is at the forefront of this decision.
“As business leaders, we have all been faced with challenges never imagined and the toughest decisions of our careers – including cancelling IDDBA 2021. The continued global health and healing of our families and friends is top priority,” said Gaetano Auricchio, chairman of the board.
Planning for IDDBA 2022 is already underway and the trade show is scheduled to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 5- 7.
The IDDBA, based in Madison, Wisconsin, is a nonprofit membership organization serving the dairy, deli, bakery, cheese and supermarket foodservice industries. Member companies enjoy exclusive benefits and services including the annual tradeshow, leading-edge research, training programs, management tools and an annual trends report.
